I just got an original tool box for my '49 8N but cannot see how it attaches to the tractor. There is no mounting bracket, just the box. I know its mounting position is on the left side, near the battery, but it looks like there should be a bracket to attach it with. Can anyone enlighted me or direct me to a closeup photo of an 8N with an original tool box? If there is a bracket, are repros available? I can fabricate one if I need to, but a photo would help in locating the box correctly. I've searched the archives but couldn't find an answer. These must be rather rare since I haven't seen any on the 8Ns in Web photos I've checked. Were they a dealer accessory?
Thanks in advance! Fred (C0)

If you are referring to a toolbox that's visible on the left side of the tractor near the battery, that was the 9N/2N toolbox. The 8N box is under the battery/gas fill cover, bolted to the dash support. You can't see it with the cover closed. It is not a rectangular cube ... the back bottom edge is "cut off" to accomodate the slant of the dash support. I can't point to a picture right at the moment but maybe someone else can.

Fred. The 8N toolbox mounts over top of the battery with two mounting bolts, one goes into the steering pedistal (uprights) and the other goes into the "back" of the battery tray. Once you have it installed access to many of the wires under the fuel door will be restricted. See page 26 of your F0-4 manual, you will note that there is a "triangular shaped" box just above/behind the battery. Good luck.

Mine doesn't have one either and am considering trying to find one. I was wondering if there are drain holes in the bottom of those to let the water out should any get in there? If not, I was thinking it might be a good idea.

There are no drain holes in the bottom of the 8N toolbox. The lid has a lip on three sides and the fourth is a piano hinge. But to even get to the lid, water would first have to get through the battery/gas door. I got caught in a major thunder shower and not a drop found it's way under the hood, so a drain would really be unnecessary.

Hope this helps.

N � joy.

Thanks, Luc. I'll check my manual when I get home tonight. Fred
